Review payments to senior citizens
This matter mainly concerns (a) Pensions of Senior Citizens, (b) Food assistance and (c) Housing situations of seniors in this country – dealing with their pensions.
Concern about morals
DR Ranford Patterson, president of the Bahamas Christian Council, rightly spoke out concerning the sexual degradation and public debauchery that were defining marks of the government’s recently held carnival.
Just not for Bahamians
There are those who question the government’s assertion that it has created “tens of thousands” of jobs since it has been in office.
Straight talk on NHI plan
Your editorial of the May 16, in which you advanced the idea that NHI cannot be afforded and will “seal the fate” of the PLP, was disappointing and, frankly disingenuous as well.
Roberts vs Christian Council
THE comment by PLP chair Roberts as to the relevance of the Christian Council is laughable as if the Christian Council was irrelevant then why do politicians, especially PLP’s hang around churches every weekend and die to get in the churches’ pulpits?
Two sides to Baha Mar story
Baha Mar… reading your back to back Editorials you paint a wicked story about China State Construction and not a whisper (this writer is sure you have a lot of inside information) as to the other side of the equation which is or has been clearly the key to the work-slow up and question as to when Baha Mar will officially open.

Charles did us proud
All Bahamians should be exceedingly proud of the performance of Charles Hamilton Jr, in the 2015 Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Debasement in the streets
In The Bahamas, there is much concern with circumstances where many things seem to be out of order, need to be fixed, corruption and confusion. While there is progress in some areas, the leaders in their rush to correct things make poor choices and leave God out.
Affordable dream
Thank you for allowing me the space to write my perspective on something I feel is very important as a Bahamian finishing school overseas and considering my return home. From what I have been reading in the Bahamian papers online for the last few months, 70% of Bahamians have no health insurance and over one third lack any affordable access to quality healthcare.
Stop the speeding drivers
Airport Gateway Road knocking down of street lights.
FNMs for Minnis
On Monday, May 18, The Nassau Guardian’s “National Review” termed it a Critical Point and in the view of former FNM Deputy Frank Watson, the FNM was not ready for a general election. This is the only utterance of Watson that could be termed as a fact.
